In the dead-end environment of a regional Australian mining town, a young man navigates the fast-paced, violent, hyper-sexualised and ultimately unforgiving world of the group of miscreants around him, including a taxi driver, an abattoir worker and a gaolbird, who live weekend to weekend trawling Tinder, snorkelling Cruisers, shovelling caps and getting on the punt.

A deep dive into modern social decay by way of instant gratification, superficiality and casual substance abuse, ‘Love In Bright Landscapes’ occupies a space somewhere between Easton Ellis, McInerney, Welsh and Houellebecq.

Through a contemporary milieu, the novel explores hypocrisy, FOMO, nihilism, vicarious living and the treachery of hedonism without regard for consequence, as well as the pervasive influence of social media dependence that ultimately leads to an overwhelming and seemingly inescapable ennui within millennial society amid the constant morally bankrupt quest for serotonin replenishment. 'Less Than Zero' for 21st century regional Australia.
